Hundreds of millions of people suffer daily with no access to having even their most basic of human needs met.  For those whose lives come in contact with a Mercy Ship, they never forget the day everything changed.

It is truly remarkable that so many sacrifice so much to reach those so in need of hope and healing.  But a funny thing happens when you reach out to give to the poor.  You discover it is they who give to you, not the other way around.  Their grace, their patience and the generosity and childlike gratitude over the smallest act of kindness changes and transforms those who are privileged to serve them.

Thanks to the generous donations of people all over the world, Mercy Ships surgeons have operated on thousands of people who never imagined it would be possible to have their lives back whole again.
